^^^ I've read this over and over on this forum and i always thought "but I AM going slow! why am I still getting this pain?" it wasn't until I read somewhere that someone was overtaken by two old ladies power-walking in the park that I realised just how slow everybody was telling me to go. Good Luck!

Good luck Plex! Not that you'll need it - pretty sure you'll smash it lol.. Day 3 for me today, hoping I can keep my motivation/ energy up till it's time for my run this afternoon, there's just soooo much going on & the end of year craziness is really getting to - I don't even have kids yet !

Plex!! have you started W5 yet? I'm attempting day 3 tomorrow (dum dum duuummmm).. I surprised myself by being fine with W5D1 & 2, so I'm actually looking forward (a little) to day3

Ahoy hoy! I'm Pixie O'Horror from Sydney Roller Derby League in Sydney Australia. I started derby-ing close to 3 years ago now with a 9 month break due to injury/ rehab - pretty stoked to see a derby group on MFP :-)

Ahoy-hoy!! I'm western sydney based, vertically challenged, with 10kg left to lose and am pretty active - feel free to add me :)

I'm Aussie, that counts though right? ;) I've got family in NZ and I've been across the Tasman more times than I can count...looking for motivated and active mfp friends so feel free to add me :)

I'm 5'1, currently 67kg (150 pounds), have already lost 5kg (11 pounds) and still have 10kg (22 pounds) left to lose till I reach my goal weight. I'm fairly new on MFP and am pretty active, so please feel free to add me - I'm Australian... I MUST be awesome ;) lol

Hey guys! I'm 5'1" and trying to lose 10kg (22pounds) - feel free to add me I'm fairly new to MFP but am pretty active, lets do this together :)

Well hey there! I'm from Western Sydney - friend request sent :)

feel free to add me - I've got 10kg (20 pounds) left to lose & can use all the help I can get :-)

Good Luck!!!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I finally cracked W4D1!! It was all the pace! I thought I was going slow already but after reading somewhere that somebody was overtaken by two old ladies powerwalking I realised I wasn't going quite that slow (lol) so I tried it - and voila! - I killed it!! So thank you to everybody…

Righto... I'm dragging my fiance down to the park this afternoon, giving him a stopwatch, and telling him to push me when it looks like I'm going to give in... I know I respond to personal trainers pushing me, so fingers crossed this helps. Thanks for the help guys :)

GAH! I think I'm stuck! I've now tried W4D1 3 times and haven't been able to complete the runs - in fact i feel like i'm actually getting worse! I can't get over 3 minutes per run, and I can't reach 3 minutes every time i try either. Should I just keep doing the same day till I finally get it? or should I go back and throw…

I'm in for december... it'll be interesting to see how many steps I take in a normal day!

Sydney based...Hiii! :drinker:

Soooo NOT looking ahead anymore ! I think I'll do the whole of week 4 and see how I go after the 3 runs, if I go ok I'll move on to week 5 - if not (insert dramatic music) I'll just do week 4 over again till i get it. Whatever happens I'll just keep on keeping on :wink:

Hahahaha thanks for the advice!!

Nope..I got my *kitten* kicked!! I actually think I could have done it, but my shins and calves were killing me - so once I couldn't run anymore I just walked it instead Guess I'll try again tomorrow :)

thank you! I'm at work now and excuses of why I can't go for a run today just keep running through my head... I will make myself go, even if i feel like total crap... and who knows - it just might actually be easy :laugh:

I don't have any scientific way of doing it, and I'm sure that everybody's different... but all I do is try not to set out like a bull at a gate, and then try to keep the same rhythm going. When it gets hard I just focus on actually making each step rather than stopping (and listening for the finish lol). If you can't make…

yay for new skates!! Antics are meant to be great for narrow feet. Personally I have Riedell 265's and love them with my wide feet :)

Yay for you!! This is my first C25K & I've just completed W3D2 so I'm pretty happy that I've stuck with it :) PS - anybody who'd like to add me please do, I need all the motivation I can get ;)

I know right!? I've just done w3d2, yesterday I struggled with the 1st 3 minutes, but today I pushed through both of them! Ithink it's all about the pace...

I'm starting Week 3 today yay!!! It's hard but I feel really good after doing 2 days in a row (then I go and sabotage it all by taking 4 days off :/ ) Maybe we should start a support group, or maybe there's already one set up somewhere? might make it easier to stick with it...?
